To develop a state-of-the-art fully computerised Management Information
System on housing and building statistics. The e-unit in NBO will be up-linked to
state Governments Departments of /Bureaus of Economics & Statistics, Municipal Administration,
Municipal Corporations, Municipalities etc. The National Statistical commission recommended for looking into the
various aspects of the entire construction sector for formulation of policies of
national interest, specifically to access the impact of the various policies of
the Ministry. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on construction statistics
was set up to look in to the various aspects of the construction sector like thecurrent status of data, data gaps, methodological problems, review the
system of regular data collection etc. According to these recommendations, NBO
needs to collect data from various sources related to the construction sector and
submit various reports on the basis of those data.This is the first attempt to computerise to collect, collate, validate,
analyse, disseminate and publish building construction, housing and other related
statistics and statistical reports from time to time and also to bring out compendiums
on urban poverty, slums, housing and build construction statistics and applied research
publications analysing statistical data gathered from various sources such as the
Census, NSSO etc. This application should generate various reports by accessing
and formatting raw data on construction activities in India.
